Finalists invited to form The School Academy

England Talent would like to invite all Cadet, Class A and Class B finalists (male and female) from this year’s England Boxing National Schools Championships 2019 to form The School Academy 2019.

Boxers are asked to attend at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield on Sunday 21st July for a day working with the national coaches.

The day will consist of an education piece and an insight into life as an international boxer, as well as boxing training/sparring.

All boxers will receive a t-shirt on the day and be invited to between 3-5 training sessions during the year.

Development Coach Amanda Coulson said: “Please don’t worry about the weight in which you competed at the Championships – we understand that as young boxers you are growing athletes and therefore we don’t expect you to be at this weight any longer.

“We will check your weight on arrival simply to establish which groups you’ll be placed in for the day.*

“Due to the large volume of boxers expected at this day, we kindly ask parents/coaches to arrive with their boxer to register them and complete a parental consent form, but then to depart until the day ends around 4pm to pick them up.”

A list of boxers invited to attend is detailed below.
